Obama wins!

I had the opportunity to cover history last night as America elected it's first African American to the presidency. I and fellow photographer Josh Peckler decided at the last minute Tuesday afternoon to make the four hour trip up to Chicago to cover this defining moment in our history. It was an amazing evening filled with anxiousness, laughing, cheering, and tearing up as the people in Grant Park watched Obama sweep across the electoral map to claim victory. Here are some of my images from the night.

You are becoming quite the photojournalist!
I'd been wondering how you were coming along since high school, now I know.
Your shots in Chicago are awesome.
